I've been thinking of watching Midori the camellia girl since i feel that watching famously fucked up movies to try to feel something is becoming kind of my thing

[billiejean485]

ME: Has loads of names she would give to her sons but not a single one in case of having a daughter - almost all of the existing ones remind her of a female figure she'd never rather think about; every time she hears a new name goes like: "! I could give this to my child!" - but it turns out to be just another male one.

ALSO ME: Decides to look up more archaic national girl names in order to avoid being reminded of anyone she knows and - ends up finding a whole load of kick-ass ones, realizing that, if she ever has daughters, she's going to raise a whole bunch of female warriors. ❤️⚔️🛡️

The Ale [Bulgarian mythology; Slavic mythology]

Many cultures from around the world have tales of powerful supernatural creatures – be they spirits, deities or monsters – who can create bad weather. In Slavic folklore, this role is taken by the Ala, a type of malevolent meteorological spirits associated with storms, hail and hurricanes. They are found in Serbian, Macedonian and Bulgarian beliefs (in the Bulgarian version, these creatures are called Hali (singular Hala).

Ale are demonic creatures with serpent-like bodies and the head of a horse, though their appearance varies a lot between stories and iterations. They usually have wings, and sometimes three heads or a sword-like tail. The Ale are shapeshifters and can also assume a human form. Sometimes, they become ravens.

Inherently malicious, the Ale are notorious for destroying or stealing crops, uprooting trees and creating powerful storms to devastate orchards. These demons have the ability to transform into a thick fog cloud: when they take this form and descend on farmland, the corn can no longer ripen.

Interestingly, these monsters are said to avoid lakes and rivers. Being inherently solitary creatures, an Ala usually lives alone in a cave and will even defend its habitat if other Ale approach.

When an eclipse happens, it is said that an Ala is trying to devour the sun, as their hunger is insatiable.

The amount of annoyed I was at the commentators…it wasn’t even sky, it was a Serbian broadcast. The whole race they were saying how charles keeps making mistakes with no indication that he might be having problems. Nope, just good old incompetence when it comes to braking.

And when they finally found out it was the car they made some comments on how good the Ferrari was to be able to hand onto p4. It seemed like it pained them to admit that he might actually posses some talent.

Seems like it runs much wider than just sky..

my girl @tsarinablogs always claims "Charles Leclerc, the first male victim of misogyny" and i think will at some point do a deep dive into it. there's definitely mainstream bias where the commentators feel the need to downplay his talent

[art-that-fucks-you-up-tournament]

who’s excited for stats so far?? i bet none of you are but i’m inflicting them anyway! ...under a cut.

so far, though, we have 198 separate submissions across 166 works!

so far the longest submission piece is 551 words long! wow! there are also another 3 submissions that are over 300 words long, and one piece has 797 words across 7 submissions! the shortest submission, to contrast, is 5 words long! that’s also great!

there are currently 4 artists that have had 3 pieces of art each submitted, and 8 artists that have had 2 pieces. that means there’s currently 137 other artists! oh sorry, while i was drafting this post we got a fourth submission for one of the four.

how about things anyone can go look at? there are currently 7 pieces of public art that have been submitted! four of them are from canada (and 3 are from the calgary specifically), one is in the netherlands, one is in spain, and one is in new york. the fourth canadian one also has copies in spain, japan, and arkansas. there are also 3 submitted buildings! two are in spain, and one is in thailand!

gender! we’ve got 122 pieces from male artists, and 32 pieces by female artists! yes that doesn’t add up to 166, the other 12 are either multiple artists, unknown artists, or i felt like a creeper trying to trawl through their tumblr/website and it wasn’t in their bio. sadly, we don’t have any openly trans, nb, or otherwise genderqueer artists submitted (where openly is “i could find it in the same 5 second google search to determine nationalities”)

even more niche stats! the largest submission (that isn’t a building, a cave, or public art) is 2.15 m (7 ft 1 in) x 34.14 m (112.0 ft) and weighs 4 tons! close behind it is another that's approximately 3.7m x 25.2m (12ft x 72.9ft) but weighs significantly less! i did not feel like mathing which had more square footage. the smallest submission (that is, a physical piece in real life, digital art can be insanely small) is 5.9 x 6 cm (2 5/16 x 2 3/8 in.)!

how about locations? excluding the multiple copies ones, there are 32 pieces located in the united states, 9 in spain, 8 in france, 6 in canada, 5 in england, 4 in italy, 3 each in russia, australia and mexico, 2 each in the netherlands, wales, scotland, and ireland, and 1 each in israel, finland, germany, portugal, poland, japan, austria, ecuador, thailand, latvia, singapore, belgium, and argentina! i know that doesn’t add up but there’s a lot of pieces in private collections, owned by the artist, or we just couldn’t find their location, sadly.

artist nationalities get a lot more variable! i did my best to look up every artist i could and include their birth country and the country they did their works in! except john singer sargent because he just didn’t want to settle down and i didn’t want to give him like six different countries. 

starting off, we have 43 submissions by american artists! 18 by french artists, 17 by english, 8 each by canadians and italians, 6 each by russians and spaniards, 5 each by chinese, irish, and germans, 4 each by dutch, mexican and belgians, 3 by latvians, 2 each by finnish, polish, scottish, malay, serbian, and armenians, and 1 each by portuguese, japanese, austrian, ecuadorian, thai, swiss, argentine, cuban, kazhak, colombian, danish, and iranian! 

i do not currently have stats for jewish artists for you, because i forgot to write it down my first time through wiki, and now i have to go through all ~140 articles and websites again. relatedly: there are 8 works by known-to-be-gay artists, but i’m already running into wikipedia going “well he sure did a lot of male nudes but he also might have had relationships with women” and i am feeling uncomfortable poking through people’s private lives so... i hope you don’t mind it i stop... counting..... i mean if they’re open about it i’ll write it down still.

how about the ages of works? there are 4 things from before the 1400s, 3 from the 1400s, 6 from the 1500s, 3 from the 1600s, and 2 from the 1700s! 5 from 1800-1850, 4 from 1850-1880, 10 from the 1880s, and 9 from the 1890s! 9 from the 1900s (that is, 1900-1909), 5 from the 1910s, 5 from the 1920s, 4 from the 1930s, 4 from the 1940s, and 6 from the 1950s! 3 from the 60s, 4 from the 70s, 7 from the 80s, 15 from the 90s, 12 from the new oughts, 17 from the 2010s, and 13 from the 2020s! and three ongoing projects!

and to wrap things up: there are 101 paintings, 12 sculptures, 17 what i’m calling installations (they’re often mixed media or unusual media, i would give examples but i feel like i would bias submissions), 6 photographs, 2 pieces of textile art, and 21 digital arts, drawings, or comics!

Ivan Volkov

Gender: Male Nationality: Russian Place of Birth: Moscow, Russia Model: Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23M "Flogger-B" Role: Fighter

Avram Gvozdić

Gender: Male Nationality: Serbian Place of Birth: Majdanpek, Serbia Model: Zastava 750 Role: Scientist, weapon designer

Two key characters in Avelina Sokolova's story. Ivan is Joseph's friend, having known the MiG-25 since they were both quite young. He acted as an "uncle" to Ava and was very close to the family. He was the only person outside of Joseph and Sophie to know of the young girl's existence. Ava saw him as an uncle and saw him as family, which greatly helped in earning her trust after her parents "mysteriously" died while she was young. He is much more of a realist than Gvozdić and far better at dealing with people. He's very cunning, cruel and manipulative, though fantastic at gaining people's trust with his outwardly pleasant and calming demeanour. Avram is a scientist who later developed an interest in designing weapons and is a subordinate to Ivan Volkov. He is quite a skittish individual and usually likes to be left alone. Although his true motivations have never been clear, it's safe to assume he finds great enjoyment in figuring out how things work, including living organisms. He doesn't see Ava as a living being, rather, a science experiment he can pull apart and put back together, over and over again.
